 According to Meyer, the contest began in 2023 and is a joint project between the food bank and the Kenai Boys and Girls Club. This is a brainchild of just the WISCA and working with the Boys and Girls Club. It's kind of been a collaborative effort. This year, the contest begins at the 4th of July parade and extends through July 11th. Donations include non-perishable food and monetary donations to the food bank. In the first annual contest, food was donated at drop-off points across the two communities, but Meyer says that will change this year.
